I got the black paint on everything yesterday. No pics though, as my camera battery decided to die, and I didn't get it recharged until today. Anyway, I'm hoping to have it back together tomorrow. I noticed that one front tire is oozing slime, I wonder if that's a good enough excuse to get a set of V61s for it?:biggrin2.gif:

MATT,
I would get that slime out first chance you get. I did allot of reading on those types of products a few years back. Our group of 4 wheeler rider used to use the slime. It will actually turn acidic after a couple years and start eating your wheels. And it freezes. I found this product called ( Highlifter tire sealant ). It was designed by 4 wheeler riders. It does not freeze. It is also good forever, and wont hurt your wheels. They guarantee it will seal a 1/2 hole in the tread and a 1/4 inch hole in the sidewall. I personally ran over an shed antler 2 years ago. It put a hole in my tire I could fit my pinky in. It sealed and I am still running it. It is pricey though. JOE I would like to know how the v61s do for snow plowing? I really like my xtracs in the snow, but really like the looks of the v61s.

I didn't get any pictures of the stuff hanging from the ceiling with shiny black paint. I discovered that the suction tube for the aluminum rear is slightly different than the one for an iron rear, so I had to carefully file off the ring for the compression fitting and put on a new one in a different location. Here's the rear back in the tractor, Hytran topped off after filling it most of the way and waiting 30 minutes for the axle tubes to fill with Hytran. Notice that I remembered to mask off the breather...a glob of grease works great. Paint over the top of it and wipe it off after the paint dries for a couple days.
After putting everything back together.... IT LIVES!  I drove it around a bit, and up and down our 550' driveway. I didn't hear any unusual noises, and there aren't any leaks as of yet. I'll have to peek under it in the morning and check for leaks. I still have to put the muffler tin back on now that it's been fixed, and put on the side panels, wash/wax everything, and get some V61s to replace the worn and leaky front tires, and so that slime can't further destroy the rim. Next on the list is a complete overhaul of the 50" deck, but that'll have to wait a bit. jbollis- The V61s are supposed to be the best steering tire you can get. I haven't used the pair I bought for anything other than mowing yet, but they work great for that. I can steer great, and they don't mark up the lawn.

Well, I guess I'm temporarily done working on the 1872. I got it washed and waxed today, and I stuck some hubcaps on the front to temporarily hide the rusty wheels until I can order some V61s and repaint the wheels.
I wish the PO hadn't painted the white with a BRUSH and touched up the yellow with that fugly cyclops orange-yellow. I also need to change that icky brown seat. I'll be putting a 50" deck on it soon so I can see how I like mowing with a super. I hope I like it after all of the work that this thing has been. I couldn't resist a picture with the 782D.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
